As long as he just sits where you put him, doesn't empty shelves and doesn't answer back it's a deal!

He's a bit mouthy but wouldn't bother himself to get up off his a** or empty shelves. Or do anything else for that matter.

I've just taken a shower, he was supposed to have cleaned in there after the drains-fixing man came the other day. There is nasty black stuff all over the bottom of the bath and the little stickies Molly sits on so she doesn't slip, all up the wall, all over Molly's washcloths and all over the shower curtain and he swears he didn't see any of it. No, because he wasn't f'n looking. He seems to have emptied a pan of water down the immediate area of the drain and assumed it was done. So I'm there, in my five minutes of peace, scrubbing the walls and can't get the bottom of the bath clean because my feet were also covered in it and every time I moved somewhere I'd cleaned got dirty. I came out and burst into tears I'm so angry and frustrated with his half-a**ed approach to cleanliness.

Glad it's almost sorted SM.

Yay Molly. Hugs SS. Their all useless.

I'm in work and have just realised that I have sent Joe to school with an empty lunch box!! I'm loosing it, really I am. I so need to get a grip. Need to go home and get it and take it to the school and look like a right numpty again as I forgot both his lunch box and school bag last week too. Good job work, home and school in a 5 minute radius.

Glad you got it sorted SM. FB is never a good place to air work woes as you never know who is watching and taking a screen shot:undecided.

:T For walking Molly, that is ace. :mad: At lazy husbands though.

Hugs for those who had bad nights, or who who have uncooperative children this morning.

I have a mega-sore foot. It hurt last night but it really hurts this morning, but I've not done anything to it. It hurts from my middle toe, along my foot and up to my ankle. Any ideas?

It's not even that he's useless, WM, he's just lazy and thinks that if he can't see the dirt then it doesn't exist.

Still, he's in there now cleaning it, I just wish it hadn't got to this point to get him to do it.

I do think it's a man (and child) thing... D will step over something 43 times before I point out that he could just pick it up and put it away... If I ask him to clear the sides in the kitchen he'll do the barest minimum and assume it's adequate... I gave him the choice of the dishes or sorting the toybox and associated crap into the new unit last night, but I asked him if he'd sort it out properly or just cram it all in... When he paused to think about it I sent him to the kitchen to do dishes... He wouldn't think to sort it, half the reason it needed sorting in the first place is because he will just shovel stuff anywhere to make it appear tidy, it's not actually putting things away though is it... And it means I can never find anything when I need it... Where are my bloody nail clippers?!

Sorry... That turned into a bit of a rant about me didn't it...

WM, could you not ring the school and arrange him a school dinner? Or is it easier to just take him a lunch in?

searching_me

gisi .. think its my naivity .. and my short temper span ... but will let you all know what happened when i get back from work ...

sugar philip sometimes has that apporch .. if its not in the living room or kitchen then the house is tidy x

Jakesmummy

OH doesnt do anything unless i ask him, its ridiculous really i mean he's not a child, if he lived on his own im sure he'd keep the place tidy but he's got muggings here to do it instead, but hey i dont have a job but he doesnt understand that he has a lot more bum on couch time than me.... *and breathe* rant over sorry lol!!

anyway hope everyones ok? im just trying to decide what to do today..

GISI, this sounds weird, but could you have stretched something in the night?

The lady of the boy who James had a fight with phoned. She said she'd got her son's side and wanted to hear my side so we could work out what really did happen and the best way to handle it. She said she was poorly on Friday and at her parents so her son went to her sisters house after school and the cousin came round here before she got to know about anything. She had no idea what he said and she's livid with him for sticking his nose in. Sorted things out with her and we're going to try and get the boys to make up tomorrow. Feel happier about that now.

That's great - she's obviously reasonable then.

Morning much better night here tho T is still not better.

Ishall stop moaning about my OHs OCD cleaning! Souids like I should count myself lucky even if it is really annoying when he disturbs my sleep by clattering about. Actually I really shouldn't moan about him I give him lots of stick and he cooks and cleans without moaning,I just wish he would think more of T as a joint effort instead of me having to tell him to do things for her, I know he could do it if I weren't here.

Am watching I can cook with T,is it sad I really like some of the stuff they make, today honey tea loaf Cant wait for T to be able to do some baking I saw very cute aprons with gruffalo and hungry caterpillar and that ballet dancing mouse who's name escapes me atm.

SS - yeay for Miss Mollys steps

Krystal - hope you got the LO's to co operate in the end.

Anyone know a salt free hummous recipe so i can make some for T as I have chickpeas sitting in the cupboard.
